-SPECIAL- "Maison Margiela" 20AW Conceptual double button striped shirt

"Maison Margiela"
2020 striped double-button shirt

From Maison Margiela, which has consistently infused everyday wear with a conceptual perspective—centered on the aesthetics of anonymity and deconstruction—we present a standout piece with beautifully crafted stripe detailing.

On the calendar tag, the number 1 indicating the women’s line is circled, and the back features a subtle yet unmistakable presence: four-point stitching in white thread, symbolizing the brand.

A fresh base that appears as a soft sax blue to a light blue-gray is accented by fine stripes in white, navy, and black tones, creating a rhythmic flow. While it maintains the crispness of classic shirting, it is finished with the quiet, understated unease characteristic of Maison Margiela.

Although the material composition cannot be confirmed from the image, visually it appears to have the lightness and just-right structure typical of a thin-to-medium-weight shirt fabric. With a clean feel and fabric that sits away from the skin, it is also an excellent choice for layering regardless of the season.

The front is finished with four-hole buttons in a white tone, and the double-button-like vertical detailing draws the eye in a restrained way. A generously sized collar and longer cuffs add a mode-like sense of space to an otherwise composed striped shirt, striking a balance that is simple yet memorable at first glance.

The listed size is 40, with a size code of 160/84A. The shoulder construction is on the regular side without dropping excessively, and with a natural ease in the width, you can wear it as a silhouette that retains a feminine sharpness while also moving comfortably in daily life.

As for the year, the care tag shows “02PR/2020/4665/1 - 2020 02,” and the product numbers “S51DL0349 S53174” can also be confirmed. In addition, the label includes “Maison Margiela PARIS,” “Margiela Japan,” and “Made in Italy,” providing highly reliable information as a 2020 AW piece.

Just as with Maison Margiela in the era when John Galliano led the creative direction, the brand’s philosophy is embedded in small codes—button placement, tags, and the back stitching—within a familiar everyday format like a basic shirt. This is precisely what makes it so appealing: it is not a piece that loudly insists on itself, but rather one that reveals depth when viewed up close. It is especially recommended for those seeking such a garment.

For styling, of course, you can pair it cleanly with black wide slacks or a tailored, close-fitting skirt. You can also let the collar area and stripes show as an inner layer beneath a jacket, adding an intelligent and refined mood to everyday attire.

In short, this is a piece that lets you incorporate Maison Margiela’s conceptual appeal into daily life effortlessly. Be sure to take this opportunity.
